Crown Molding and Cap for 3/4" Pocket J-Channel

You will need:

•Crown molding

•Crown molding end caps

•3/4" pocket J-channel header and surround

To use crown molding with 3/4" pocket J-channels, measure the length of the completed J-channel surround and add 2-1/2" (the crown molding overlaps the J-channels by 1-1/4" per side).

Insert the crown molding cap into the crown molding and trace the tip shape. Trim as shown.

Insert 1/2 of the crown molding cap into each end of the crown molding lineal. Secure the crown molding with a bead of caulk.

Miter or square cut the J-channel (mitered corner is shown). Insert the 3/4" wide rain tab into the receiving channel of the side J-channel.

Crown Molding with 3-1/2" Lineal Surround

In addition to J-channel, crown moldings can also be used with lineals. The next two pages demonstrate how crown molding can be used with various lineal configurations. Above all, remember that before applying accessories and siding, make certain the substrate is watertight. In order to be properly protected from precipitation, the substrate may need to be properly flashed to shed water to the exterior. The siding alone is not a watertight barrier.
